[quote user="davidmbedard"][quote] Well I have done quite a few sound installs now, but I too am not fond of milling weights if I don't have to.However, I find that anything but two of the small-sized speakers is just too "pipsqueak" sounding, so I usually go to work on the weights at some point or other.  [/quote]It entirely depends on the frequency range and quality of the speaker.  Doubling up 2 'pipsqueak' speakers does nothing more than increase your volume, it does NOT change your frequency range (ie, give you more bass).You might consider a better quality sound decoder.  The ones you are using are more at fault for the 'pipsqueak' rating.David B[/quote]Yes, that is certainly true.  However the difference between one and two 16 x35 mm is quite noticeable.  But I am fed up with Soundtraxx.....too many outright failures.I do like to use two to four large ovals 28 x 40mm wherever possible (mostly steamers). I buy these in bulk and they cannot be beat even with DSDLCs and Tsunamis when compared to my QSIs off the shelf and Loks .
